Hi all,
My latest review showed the result for GFR (kidney function) has been falling from high 70s to where it is now, high 50s, in about 18 months.
Has anyone experienced similar?
Thanks
Nik

It is essential to keep up your fluid intake so that the kidneys are in better working order.
This article about kidney stones shows that we must never get dehydrated.
